Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum is no longer a part of the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
The fighter, who went 0-1-0 in the PFL, revealed the news in an interview with Canal Encarada.
“My contract with PFL is over,” Werdum said (transcript via Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting). “I did that fight and had all that problem, and stayed out for two years. Not because of that [loss], but I’ve been doing this for 25 years. I needed this time off, and the contract ended.”
It has been nearly two years since Werdum's lone PFL fight, which was a no contest against Renan Ferreira at PFL 2021 Regular Season Card #3 in May of 2021.
Werdum is open to fight again in the future and he has a host of other former UFC Heavyweight Champions that he'd be open to fighting.
“If that happens in the future, give me some time to train and I would definitely do it,” Werdum said. “It could be [Francis] Ngannou, [Junior dos Santos] ‘Cigano’, it could be anyone. Maybe even [Cain] Velasquez coming back now. I don’t even know if he will.”
